Apparently it works for most people otherwise we'd have way
more complains on this list.

Anyway, please set the env. variable CYGWIN to 'ntsec', nothing else,
then login and be sure to be in a directory on an NTFS file system.
Mail the output of the following commands to the list:

  uname -a
  echo $CYGWIN
  cat /etc/passwd
  cat /etc/group
  id
  mount
  pwd
  strace chmod 644 <AnyFile>
